I've only been to Seattle a handful of times but I always feel a need to visit this REI. Maybe it's the fact that this is the flagship store that makes me want to go back but darn it, I just like this place. The store is huge. The parking is relatively easy. The experience is also unique. The decor, the "running waterfall", and the rock climbing wall all come together to make it feel like the "great outdoors". Bu most importantly, they've got a huge selection and carry items my local REI does not. Get ready to burn some cash here!
